A Patriot of the American Revolution for PENNSYLVANIA with the rank of Private. DAR Ancestor # A042643

From the Franklin Repository newspaper, 2 December 1823: Another soldier of the Revolution has taken his departure to a world of Spirits. The Rev. John Funk died at the residence of his son in Washington Township, Franklin County, Pa on the 16th ult., aged 64 years.

In the days of '76 when our bleeding Country lay prostrate at the foot of oppression, he was among the first to raise the cry of Liberty and Independence, although only in the 17th year of his age and was actively engaged in the war for about 5 years. His later days were profitably spent in the service of God.
